Adolplie Thiers,
One of the great men of France has re-,
appeared in the political arena of that ever
to-be-convulsed country. Thiers, the his
torian, sent to the Corps Legislatif by the
voices of one of the electoral districts of
Paris, there made that remarkable speech,
upon the Address, on Monday, January 11th,
which we republished in this paper on Sa
turday. The general- custom, in European
legislatures, is for each House to send an
Address to the Sovereign in response to the
“ Speech from the Throne,” at the opening
of the Session. Debates frequently take
place upon questionable in the Ad
dress—which document is merely an echo o f
the Speech, If any other Address were
voted, it would be a vote of censure upon
the Ministry, who are supposed to be respon
sible for the contents of the Speech; in
France, it would be a vote of censure upon
the Emperor himself, who writes his own
State papers.
| The last time—before his recent manifes
tation—that Thiers spoke in the French
legislature, was in the National Assembly
in November, 1851. Louis Napoleon,
then President, was disinclined to relinquish
that oftice when his time would expire, in
December, 1853—and the National Assem
bly was unwilling that he should retain it—
by re-election or any other means. Thiers
spoke feebly on that occasion, for he was
panic-struck, and in a private caucus of the
leaders of. the Opposition, gave his opinion
that “ the President should' be elected for
ten yeqrs. It will be a terrible day for Paris,”
he said, “ when that is proposed; but I feel
it is just and indispensable, and I am willing
to agreeto it.” Notwithstanding this semi
adhesion to Louis Napoleon, the coup
d'kat of December 2d did not spare Thibrs,
who was. arrested with flther parliamentary
leaders, and finally found an asylum in Swit
zerland, after a short sojourn in Brussels
and London. In time he was permitted to
return to Paris, where he completed his
“ History of the Consulate and the Empire,”
his greatest work, devoted to the individual
glorification of the First Napoleon. He
was considered to have quitted politics, but
at last year’s elections he was brought for
ward, with some other publicists opposed to
the present order of things in France, and
placed by their votes in the Corps Legisla
te. There, no doubt, he feels at home,
for his previous public life was passed in the
Chamber of Deputies and in the National
Assembly. Who, that ever saw him in the
-Chamber, during Louis Philippe’s reign,
can forget the extraordinary appearance of
that large-headed, small-statured man? At
that time, when a member spoke, except in
momentary explanations, he had to ascend
a sort of pulpit, near the President of the
Chamber, called the Tribune. You would
be conscious, at one stage of the perform
ance, . that some noted person was ex
pected—members had to write down their
intention to speak, and therefore every one
knew when Thibrs or Guizot, or any
other notability would appear. You would
see a stout pigmy start from his seat; slide
along the floor; ascend the Tribune by a
hop, skip, and jump; shake his unkempt
locks; adjust the enormous spectacles, be
hind which his eyes had an unearthly ap
pearance ; give a tug or two at his stupendous
shirt-collar, which momently threatened to
cut off his huge ears, and then commence
speaking in a shrill, discordant, unpleasant
voice, sharp as John Randolph’s, shrill as
Bichard Lalob Bhibl’s, but occasionally
round and full as that of Stephen A.
Douglas. But, if the manner were bad, the
matter was excellent. The pigmy grew upon
you, despite of the owl-like barnacles and
that guillotine of a shirt-collar. His figure
seemed to expand. His voice gathered sub
stance as he used it, and became wonder
fully expressive. He drew you along with
him, a willing captive chained to the tri
umphant chariot of his eloquence, and you
fairly confessed, after he had alternately
moved your tears and smiles, your sympa
thy and your indignation, that if this man
were a Charlatan, as his enemies declared,
it was as Edmund Burke and Georoe
Canning, as Patrick Henrv and Daniel
Webster also had been held; though his
tory speaks far differently of them. No one
can seriously doubt that Adolphe Thiers
is a great man.
Like many great men, Thiers came
from the ranks. His father was a working
locksmith. The son received a free edu
cation at one of the public schools esta
blished by the great Napoleon. _ He was
intended for the military profession, but the
downfall of Napoleon changed his career,
and he studied law at the college of Aix,
where his skill in composition won the
prize in two successive years. He became
a lawyer, without business, and moved to
Paris, where he got connected with the
newspaper press, devoting his spare time
to the composition of the “History of the.
French Revolution.” The first volume ap
peared in 1823, when its author was
six years old, and the twelfth and last was
published in 1830. .When Charles X. ap
pointed Prince Polignac to the office of
Foreign Minister, Thiers attacked the new
Ministerwith equal vivacity and force. When
the Revolution of 1830 soon followed, a crisis
Which the writings of Thiers had helped
to create, he was already in high favor
with the advanced Liberals—with Lafitte,
Brranger, Manuel, and Armand Car
bell. He did not want a republic, as
others did. He desired a revolution in
France nuchas that of 1688 was in Eng
land, expelling "a hated, incapable, and
tyrannic dynasty, and establishing a con
stitutional monarchy. No doubt the Duke
of Orleans was in his mind. The Revo
lution of the Three Days came,—when it
ended, Thiers emerged from a bajrel in a
wine-cellar, in which he had been concealed
during the tumult, and undertook the mis
sion to Neuilly to invite Louis Philippe
to accept the office of Citizen-King. He
was immediately appointed to a post in the
finance department, in which he showed so
much ability that he was offered the office of
Minister of Finance in the Ministry winch
succeeded that of August, 1830. He waited,
and soon after became Under-Secretary of
State in the Ministry of which Lasttte was
head. He held this office from November,
1830, to March, 1831, and while he held it was
made a member of the Chamber of Deputies
by the electors of Aix. Financial administra
tion became his forte. As a parliamentary
speaker, his early attempts were failures.
His small stature, his odd appearance, his
thin voice—all were against him. Perse
vering, he soon became a favorite speaker,
with wondrous volubility—a rapidity of
utterance which was never indistinct—an
easy, familiar, amusing, and anecdotal man
ner of illustrating the points which his skil
ful rhetoric disdained to stoop to. This
was in strong opposition to the grave and
elaborate oratory of Guizot, the doctrinaire.
When the Lafitte Cabinet was dissolved,
in March, 1831, Thiers also went out of
office. Ere long, he deserved the Opposi
tion, and went over to the new Ministry, of
which Casimer Pbrier was chief. He lost
his popularity, as might be expected, and
was assailed as a traitor to liberalism, and a
mere political charlatan, He visited Italy,
on a political mission, and when Marshal
Boult became Premier, in October, 1832,
the office of Minister of the Interior was
accepted by Thiers. One of his first
steps was to plan the arrest of the
Duchess de Bern. His department be
ing: divided, he took that branch of it
which was called the Ministry of Commerce
and Public Works. He instituted that Pro
tectionist policy 'which Napoleon 111, and
Mr. Gladstone have been overturning du
ring the last three years. His politics be
came exclusively Orleanist. It would seem
aB if his ruling thought was to live and die
as the minister of ■ Louis Philippe, and
this did not help him with the liberals or the
republicans. In 1834, the Soult Ministry
was reconstructed, but, like the Vicar of
Bray, M. Thiers clung to office.
At last, in February, 1836, his full ambi
tion was gratified. The Broglie Ministry
broke up, and Loins Philippe placed
Thiers at the head of the Government, as
President Of the Council and Minister of
Foreign Affairs. A difference with, the
King, on Spanish affairs, obliged him to
resign after he had been Premier about five
months, but he again had that office in
March, 1840, which he retained for five
years. When relieved from this duty he
commenced the “History of the Consulate
and the Empire,” very superior, in most
essentials, to his “ History of the French
Revolution.”
—When the Revolution of 1848 broke out,
M. Guizot, the rival of M. Thiers, was
Prime Minister of France—an able, cold
blooded whom many hated and
few loved. Guizot was compelled to re
sign, and then M. Thiers was sent lor. He
declined without the as
sistance of M. Qdillon Barrot, who, af
ter much opposition from Louis Philippe,
was appointed Minister of the Interior.
This meant an entire change in the princi
ples upon which Guizot had ruled the
realm. Thiers and Barrot, however, al
ways deficient in moral as well as in physi
cal courage, had determined not to resist
the revolt of the people, by military force.
Marshal Bugeaud, who had successfully
opposed it, gaining military occupation of
the |Hotel de Viile, the Pantheon, and, all
the barricades, without weakening the de
fences of the Palais Royal and the Tufle
ries, receiving an order, when thus success
ful, to close the combat and withdraw the
troops. This was signed by Thiers and Bar
rot. ,
The stout old - Marshal refused to obey it,
unless countersigned by Louis Philippe,
but the Due de Nemours signed it, and
thus the monarchy lost its last chance* A
few hours later, Tiiiers felt that he could
do nothing, and prayed the King to put
Odillon Barrot in his place, which was
done. That day, the King signed his abdi
cation, and immediately fled to England,
where he arrived, disguised as a bourgeois ,
under the familiar pseudo-name of John
Smith.
M. Thiers was nearly swept away with
the Orleanism which he represented. After
the Revolution of 1848, he sat in the Con
stituent and subsequently in the National
Assembly. There he did nothing. Now,
in the Corps Legislatif, he comes forward as
an ultra-liberal and reformer. His talents
may be admired, but his political honesty
is distrusted. At the same time, his elo
quent diatribe against the present Napo
leonic system must give great offence, and
may awaken some apprehension in the Im
“perial mind.
M.' Thiers tells France that five condi
tions are indispensable for the necessary
liberty of a nation—namely, “ individual
liberty—by which he meant that no citizen
Should be liable to any arbitrary interference
or measure on the part of the State. Liberty
of the press —by "Which he did not mean im
punity in case the press attacked the honor
of citizens, or disturbed the public peace;
electoral liberty —by which he did not mean
that the Government should never interfere
in the elections, but that it should abstain
from forcing candidates'on the electors;
parliamentary liberty—by which he meant
that the Legislature should be able to con
trol the executive; and, last, but most im
portant of these conditions, that public
opinion , once clearly ascertained , should
guide the acts of the Government.” He did
not actually declare, but adroitly implied,
that France does not possess even one of
these five necessary conditions —the inevita
ble conclusion which all who read and heard
his words must draw being that France does
not enjoy the necessary liberty which is her
right. He added that France would accept
all concessions which could give her neces
sary liberty, but that the time might come
when Frenchmen would exact them. This
threat is said to have at once annoyed and
alarmed the Emperor Napoleon, and some
recent reports from Europe intimate that
another coup d' elat was not unlikely—pro
bably a withdrawal of the right of free dis
cussion in the Legislature, or, at least, a
total prohibition of newspaper reports of the
debates.
Revision of the Revenue Laws.
I.—ASSESSMENT.
To the Editor of. me Press:
. Sib : The question of a revision of the revenue
laws of the State has been before the Legislature
for several years. Commissioners were appointed
to prepare a revenue code for the Commonwealth,
who presented their report January 14,1563; but it
has not, and, In its present shape, I hope it will not
become a law.
Some action will be taken during the present ses
sion. The Governor urges It in his message, and
the State Treasurer recommends It in bis report.
There Is danger that, unless great consideration u
used, inadequacy, ineongruity, and injustice will
characterize the new aystem, and revision will again
be necessary. Ido not expect to see a perfect oode
leap Into life, as Fallas sprang folly armed from the
brain of Jove, but, If the Legislature will take up
the matter thoughtfully, and anxiously seel* for
light, their work may be so weU done as to require
little alteration hereafter.
As yet, very little eongruity of opinion or simila
rity of plan appears on the pait of those who have
been Obliged to consider the question. .
The commissioners propose to increase the reve
nue by levying a tax of two per cent, upon the gross
earnings of railroad companies, and by a further tax
ripen tonnage.
The State Treasurer suggests a new and mere ef
fective mode of collecting the tax upon bonds, and
other forms of indebtedness of corporations.
The Governor proposes,
First. To Impose a special tax upon suoh minin
companies as control routes of transportation, and
thus enjoy substantial monopolies,
Secondly. The collection, In a speedy and compul
sory manner, of sdl sums due the State for unpa.
tented lands. A temporary expedient.
Thirdly. The same legislation with respeot to the
collection of tax upon bonds of corporations as is
recommended by the State Treasurer. .
Fourthly. A tax upon the gross receipts of all
railroad and canal companies.
The Hon. Henry D. Moore, lete State Treasurer,
In his able report submitted January 7,1863, reeom
mende a change in the mode of assessment, so that
property will not escape taxation; and unlike the
commissioners, the present State Treasurer, and
the Governor, he makes a powerful argument
against burdening railroad and mining companies
with an undue and unequal proportion of taxes.
' There is considerable diversity of opinion, which
will he reflected in the Legislature and embarrass Its
action. Certain of these propositions are obnoxious
to dominant Interests, and must arouse very great
and perhaps effectual opposition.
A wholesome and permanent revenue system ean
only be built up on the principle of equality. There
can be no profitable Injustice, especially In the
realm of political economy, where, sooner or later,
the whirligig Of time brings about Its revenges. I
think it poasible to do away existing inequities,
lighten and equalizo the burden of taxation, and
atill produce largely-increased revenues.
The subject naturally divide. Itself Into three
heads, and I, therefore, propose a new mode of as
sessing taxes, a new mode of collecting taxos, and
new classification and regulation of subjects and
rates of taxation.
I begin with the assessment, beoause the present
mode Is admitted on all hands to beinefllciont, liable
to great abuses, and is most easily reformed.
I quote from the very able report of Hon. Henry
D. Moore, above referred to;
II When the faet la stated, that the valuation of
property of all kinds In our State, including money
at interest, tax on offioes, &0., is one-third less than
that in Ohio, and two-thirds less than New York,
it must be evident to every one tbat property In sur
State is either assessed at a mere Irastlon of its
value, or else that a very large portion of property
escapes taxation altogether. * * * From facts
which have come under my own observation, I am
satisfied that a large number of our wealthy citizens
escape taxation almost entirely, by reason ol having
their wealth mainly, If not exclusively, in bonds
and mortgages, ground rente, and other ceouritiec,
which they fall to return for taxation, and which
cannot be discovered by our assessors, under the
present system, thus throwing an unjust and une
qual amount of taxation upon real estate and other
tangible property."
The Commissioners propose a new plan of as
sessing property, whloh they say “is analogous to
the systems adopted in several of the States, and
experience has demonstrated its utility and populari
ty. It is, perhaps, the only mode which will aeeure
a complete astessment qf all property upon whloh
.taxes should be levied.” We shall advert to this
“only mode" hereafter. .
State THMuiei Mctfratk *»y»; “ It Ig a(a«t>
THREE CENTS.
well known, that a very large portion of the persona 1
property in the State escapes taxation altogether, either
through the Degleet of aaeeaeore, or the Tenure of the
owner* to report it."
We may fairly presume, front there itatementr,
that an efficient system of arresting property would
increase the rerenuea of tb# State at least one third,
without change in existing rate* of taxation. It i*
not possible to blunder on in the old .way much
longer, and we turn hopefully tO'the new way
lauded by the Oommiuloner*, a* being the only
possible mode of attaining the desired end.
' Here disappointment await* u*. Their proposed
system lacks a head. True, they provide for the
appointment by the Governor, of a “ Commissioner
of Revenue,” who is to furnish blanks, give in
structions, &a., to assessors elected by the people;
but he has neither the powers, duties, HOI responsi
bilities, which should attach to such au office.
The Commissioners being prominent and able
men, specially appointed for their work, and pffctty |
well paid for it, were under tbe necessity of devis* ]
mg something original, otherwise they could not |
have overlooked the perfect system of assessing j
taxes under the United States internal revenue i
laws. lam certain that they could not have done :
better than to oopy it as nearly as possible, making
the few changes needed to accommodate it to a less
extensive held of operations.
I would make the Commissioner of Revenue the
executive head of a bureau ol assessment, to be aym.
metrically organized in all its departments, in such
way as to seoure promptitude, entire vigilance, and
perfect uniformity of nation.
I regard the internal revenue system adopted by
the United States as the ultimate and perfect fruit
of the widest and most diversified experience. I
claim no originality here. My plan is an adaptation
of what I conceive to be the best model. Its main:
features are as follows:
A commissioner of revenue, appointed by the Go
vernor, and holding office tor three years.
A general assessor in each county, to be appointed
by the commissioner of revenue, from candidates
nominated by the county commissioners.
An assistant assessor in each district of the county,
appointed by the general assessor of the county.
The general assessors to be responsible to the
Commissioner of Revenue, the assistants to the
general assessors, and removable at the pleasure of
their immediate superior officer.
Each assistant assessor to be required to mpke a
complete return on or before a certain day in each
year, of all persons, offices, trades, occupations, &o„
within his district, liable to be taxed, with proper
classification.
Each assistant assessor to furnish blanks to every
taxable within his district, requiring a return under
oath, specifically, and under proper classification, of
all property of whatever kind, real, personal, er
mixed, liable to taxation, including capital and ac
crued profits of vmincorporated companies, private
bankers, brokers, &o. Merchants and all' other
dealers, manufacturers, &c,, to make return of gross
sales. Theatres, and other permanent places of
amusement, to make return of gross receipts, &s.
This part of the law may be so carefully drawn
that nothing shall escape it. Neglect or refusal to
make return should be punished, and the assessor,
in every such case, or where he has reason to sus
pect evasion, should be empowered to correct the
return, fixing his own estimate under the sanation
of bis oath of office, and subject to the approval or
disapproval of the Board of Revision .
This should consist of the Associate Judges in
each county, in conjunction with the general asses
sor, save that in Philadelphia, the duty might still
be discharged by the City Commissioners,
After the completion of the assessments the Board
of Revision should meet to hear all complaints and
remedy injustice, the assistant assessors, and parties
with their proofs being before them.
All incorporated companies should make appro
priate returns, under oath, to the Commissioner of
Revenue, who discharges toward them the duties
now imposed upon the Auditor General, and other
duties HowinglTrom a change in the objects and rate*
of taxation.
This, in brief, is the machinery which I would em
ploy in the assessment of taxes. Its superiority
over the loose, inconsequent, voluntary method
now In use mbit be evident at a glance. It eecurei
equality in the important particular that no proper
ty will escape taxation. Compulsory returns under
oath by every taxable, and the power and duty of
official revision, must bring to light the vast hidden
riches of the Commonwealth, and the burden now
borne by but a few will be distributed among all her
citizens. All will be taxed, and I shall try to show
hereafter how all may be taxed equally. C,
